Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tbsp raw sugar plus extra for topping

salt & pepper to preference

2 tbsp creamery butter

Directions

Cut squash in half, lengthwise

seed out the hollow ends

place 1 tbsp raw sugar into each hollow end

place 1 tbsp butter into each hollow end and dab across the fleshy surface

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 tsp vanilla in each hollow end

sprinkle more raw sugar over the entire halves

tent with tinfoil

bake @ 375*F for 120 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly coated with the sugar crust.

*****The reason the vanilla is added is to dramatically enhance the natural flavor of the squash. It is DELICIOUS, and adds no distinct vanilla flavor itself.

Mercy, this sure sounds delicious to me. I have baked them this way but not with vanilla. It has to give this an unique flavor.
